USMNT World Cup Watch: Pochettino Keeps Door Open in 27-Player Camp Ahead of Friendlies
USMNT coach Mauricio Pochettino says the 27-man roster for the upcoming friendlies against Belgium and Portugal is not the final World Cup squad, with cuts and recalls planned as he continues to evaluate players and shape his system. Injuries to Tyler Adams, Sergiño Dest and Haji Wright complicate decisions, while Gio Reyna remains a bubble option and players like Weston McKennie, Cristian Roldan, Sebastian Berhalter and Christian Pulisic stay central; Noahkai Banks is not in this camp but remains on the radar for future selection.
